Beer Style: American Brown Ale  (10C)
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 US gallons

American Brown Ale

Description:

I wanted to make a brown ale, but had no chocolate or black malt on hand, so I tried an experiment.

After 4 weeks in the bottle, this is a very drinkable brown ale with a pleasant flavor. I named it for the village of Usquepaugh, RI, home of Kenyon's Mill (no affiliation), which is to milling what a good micro is to brewing. I bought the wheat there. They offer a line of stone-ground meals and flours at their shop, and by mail order.

Ingredients:

  • 4 lb. English 2-row pale malt
  • 1 lb. Crystal malt
  • 3/4 lb. cracked wheat berries
  • Burton salts
  • Edme ale yeast
  • 1 oz. Cascade hops (start of boil)
  • 1/2 oz. Kent Golding hops (near end of boil)
  • 1.4 tsp. Irish moss

Procedure:

I had some cracked whole wheat of the sort that can be cooked as a hot cereal. I pan-roasted it in a dry iron skillet for about 30 minutes, turning it frequently, until it was fairly dark (some was burned actually). This was cooked in about a quart of water for about 3/4 hour, and added to the main mash at about 50 C at the start of the protein rest. All water used had 1/2 tsp. Burton salts added per gallon. The boil was about 50 minutes, and there was quite a lot of hot break. This recipe yielded about 3 gallons of wort at OG=1.050. I pitched one packet of Edme ale yeast direct (no starter). FG was 1.018.
